Quadruple split.

Chapter 383 Tacit understanding and rules

Compared with Ji Xiaoge, who was full of astonishment, Mo Tan was much calmer. After Chris finished speaking, he didn't show any surprise, but nodded with a complex expression, and sighed softly: "It really is so……"

"What really is like this?"

The girl sitting next to her couldn't accept it, she clenched her fists and said loudly to Chris: "No matter what, you can't ignore this kind of thing!"

On the way here, Mo Tan had given Ji Xiaoge a little science information in the way of making friends out of thin air. He briefly talked about the background of the slave trade in the Violet Empire in the southeastern continent, and mentioned the Marshall family for more than ten years. For example, the slave hunting group that even their own leaders did not let go, also mentioned the fire claw leader who was robbed repeatedly because of such a neighbor, and also mentioned those evil mages, strange sects, super perverts who were buyers. How insane are those who wait to die without regret, as for other things, such as the undercurrent at the top of the Violet Empire, there is not much to talk about.

And Ji Xiaoge naturally became angry as expected, wishing to chop up all those slave traders and slave buyers and make dumplings!

You must know that the "slaves" in this innocent world are much more miserable than those "slaves" in real history. After all, the latter are usually enslaved and tortured, and occasionally have a chance to revolt, but the former It's different, they are rarely used by buyers for serving tea, pouring water, washing clothes, and stacking quilts. The best end result is almost always thrown into the arena for fun with their lives. There is no peace after death, and it is worse than death to be 'sourced' or 'sacrificed' on the spot in a cult ceremony, or to be a test product for certain potions, spells, and rituals.

Although the above are all crazy acts that ordinary people cannot understand, but...

"The world has never been short of lunatics and demons, well, I mean the psychological ones."

Miss Chris looked at Ji Xiaoge tenderly, her tone was calm and kind: "But as long as these guys are willing to abide by the rules of the game, then most people will have nothing to do with them. I can tell you very clearly that in Anka In this city, as long as those so-called slave traders don’t take a few slaves out for sale with great fanfare, it’s not considered a foul, and naturally no one will take care of it.”

The wings behind Ji Xiaoge raised uncontrollably, she bit her lower lip lightly, and after a while she whispered: "I can't agree."

Chris sighed: "But you have to understand..."

"I understand."

Ji Xiaoge interrupted her softly, shook her head and said, "It's just that I can't agree."

Mo Tan turned to look at her in surprise.

The girl looked back suspiciously, and curled her lips with a reddish face: "What are you looking at, did I say something embarrassing?"

"Not at all." Mo Tan chuckled, shrugged and said, "Heroes just see the same thing, I think the same as you..."

Ji Xiaoge rolled her eyes, picked up the warm coffee and took a sip, then pushed it in front of Mo Tan, then snatched the latter's clear water, gulped down half a cup, wrinkled Xiaolian stuck out her tongue at the latter: "It's so hard! I'll change it with you!"

"But it's disrespectful."

Mo Tan smiled, in order not to embarrass Ji Xiaoge, he carefully changed the side of the cup, and then took a sip happily.

He has been hungry for a long time!
"Cough cough."

Miss Chris, who suddenly felt that she lacked a sense of existence, coughed twice, and repeated with a half-smile: "I understand, but I can't agree with it?"

Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge nodded at the same time.

"Okay, then I won't talk nonsense." Chris raised his eyebrows slightly, and snorted softly: "Anyway, I'm going to put the words here, no matter whether those guys are slave traders or not, as long as they don't sell people in Anka openly, It’s not considered a violation of the rules, and no one will take the initiative to trouble them.”

Mo Tan was not at all surprised by Chris' decisive attitude.

He is very clear that this is not the personal attitude of the "ordinary receptionist lady" in front of him, but Anka Market's normal measures for such phenomena. The land, which can be called the commercial hub of the Northwest Continent, is quite familiar with it, and I know the various unwritten rules here.

There is no absolute black and white in any world, and the same is true of Anka Bazaar of such a large scale. As a free, rich and famous behemoth, the gray between black and white is the main theme, especially Under the premise that the administrative organization is so loose that it is almost useless, it is not the representatives of those forces who dominate this land, nor the rules and laws, but the tacit understanding.

That is a tacit understanding that no matter passers-by, merchants, residents, powerful or chaebols will silently abide by, it is the rule that Chris said before, which is tacitly approved by everyone-the real rule.

It sounds bluffing, but in Mo Tan's view, this so-called tacit understanding is actually not complicated at all, it can basically be summed up in two points...

First, maintaining the purity and competitiveness of the Anka Bazaar has nothing to do with the current incident. Simply put, it means that a certain force cannot be allowed to dominate, and there is a tendency to crush it, no matter it is at the commercial level Neither monopoly nor administrative dictatorship is allowed. The former will make the market lose its vitality, and the latter will make Anka a tool, especially dictatorship. This kind of situation that even ordinary residents will be disgusted by it will never be allowed to happen of.

Everyone has done a good job of this for hundreds of years. For example, the Steam Consortium and the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce that have flourished throughout the innocent continent. Although they also have their own industries here, they have always maintained a silent tacit understanding. You do catering, I deal in weapons, you open a jewelry store, I make precious metals, you wholesale alchemy materials, and I import engineering materials.

As for other small households with less background or limited capital, although they also have a certain share in the market, there is still a certain gap compared with the two giants of steam and gold coins. However, small workshops also have the benefits of small workshops, although they do not guarantee quality The quantity is not guaranteed, but the prices of many products are much cheaper. They are very suitable for Taobao, and they will not be overwhelmed to the point of starvation. Some of them are similar to "weird and weird" products that are novel and not bad for money. After all, it is still easier to mix up than in other places.

There has never been any fairness in this world, even the Anka Bazaar, which is relatively equal and free, and does not engage in monopoly. After all, the weight of the word "relative" is much heavier than equality and freedom. Only an idiot will Even though there are gaps in resources, connections, and background, I still believe in the so-called fair competition, and feel that my broken hotel can earn as much as someone else's well-decorated Liuli Pavilion.

Closer to home...

The second rule that everyone tacitly understands is the maintenance of Anka Bazaar's own characteristics and developability, which is what I mentioned before, and it is by no means black and white.

From blatant robbery and murder, to collecting protection fees and eating bully meals, anyone who dares to do so will definitely be suppressed by thunder, because the most basic order cannot be destroyed, otherwise this place will become a place with slightly weaker strength. It's a ghostly place where people don't even dare to come. As time goes by, this so-called Northwest commercial hub will naturally become dead in name only. This is the gray of gray.

Even if you are a notorious wanted criminal, even if your business and transactions violate [-]% of the laws in the world, as long as you don’t kill people in Anka, as long as you don’t blatantly engage in prohibited transactions, you will be fine. Someone will take care of you, just take the slave trade as an example, as long as you don't catch people as slaves in Anka, and yell openly, "This orc slave is good, he can move more than [-] catties of bricks in a day with less food and less sleep." Don’t miss this kind of mess when you pass by. If you just show up here with slaves, you won’t be hurt. After all, trading in the sun is never as profitable as trading in the shadows. If Anka refuses all darkness and If it is dirty, it will not become the big market that anyone can step into with confidence, this is the blackness of the gray.

"Of course, flexibility is not without."

Chris refilled Motan's cup of coffee with a stinky face, and lazily tossed a cube of sugar: "It's definitely not okay to kill innocent people here, but if there are any notorious bastards or scum appearing here, although the major The forces will tacitly ignore them, but if they are hacked to death in which gutter, everyone will still ignore them. Well, the premise is that the means are concealed, and they can be done cleanly without disrupting order or disturbing the people. In this way, not only will the murderer not be held accountable, but if the hacked bastard has a bounty, he can also receive it directly from various intermediary organizations, and the commission is not high."

Ji Xiaoge's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "Are those damned slave traders?"

"Barely count."

Chris threw the candy into his mouth, and while chewing it, he said vaguely: "Under the premise of revealing your identity, there may be people who don't like them, but the gang you just mentioned The guy has the 'Viper' as the background, right? Hehe, if you don't investigate clearly, no one will get into trouble. If you investigate clearly, few people are willing to offend the 'Viper' for a few strangers. I don’t care about this, like our Adventurer’s Guild.”

Mo Tan nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Then if we issue missions here or the mercenary union..."

"Okay, I can handle this procedure."

Chris smacked his lips, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Besides, if you send out a mission, you must clearly explain the background of the team, and considering the reputation of the 'Viper' organization, the number of strong people, and its strong desire for revenge And other characteristics, the task level cannot be lower than B+, simply put, the reward must be at least [-] gold coins, and there is no guarantee that someone will take it."

Ji Xiaoge, whose net worth is less than [-] gold coins, was taken aback by the huge sum of money, and after a long pause, he tentatively asked, "Then...then if we only send missions to save people, and don't ask to kill those slaves?" Where's the dealer?"

"That's right, at least classified as a B+ level task, the reward is more than [-] gold coins, and the possibility of someone taking it is very small."

Chris smiled and repeated what he said before.

The poor (self-confessed) winged beautiful girl was stunned at the time: "Then if it's saving people and killing all the slave escorts..."

"A-level task, the reward is not less than five thousand gold coins, the poster is very likely to be targeted by the 'Viper' afterwards."

Chris gave references in a serious manner, and said with a dry smile: "I suggest you give up this idea, even if there is no shortage of adventurers, mercenaries or passers-by with a sense of justice, but still, who would want to Offending Viper for a group of strangers?"

Ji Xiaoge lowered his head a little discouraged, tugged at his waterfall-like long hair, and muttered, "Wow, what a scary organization it is..."

"It doesn't have to be scary." Chris waved his hands with a smile, shook his head and said, "It's just that there is no need to offend. By the way, do you want the guild to help spread the information that the team with three black carriages is a slave trader? ? Metal coins will do.”

Ji Xiaoge tilted his head and glanced at Mo Tan, signaling him to make up his mind.

The latter shook his head without hesitation, and declined with a smile: "No, I'll find another way."

Chris didn't insist any more, just nodded and said: "It's up to you. By the way, if you accidentally saw the scene of the slave trade and you didn't die afterwards, you can report it directly. After all, it should be under the table in theory. If things were exposed, they can only be considered stupid.”

"I see, thank you for your suggestion."

Mo Tan sighed in his heart, stood up and put two silver coins on the table: "Then don't bother..."

Ji Xiaoge also stood up listlessly, and nodded to the little sister who had no intention of moving her buttocks at all: "Goodbye, sister Chris."

"Well, I won't send it away."

Chris waved his hands indiscriminately, and then reminded loudly when the two were about to go out: "Don't forget the security work at night, I was the one who arranged for you to go in, don't embarrass me."

"hold head high……"

"Especially those three scourges, if they cause any trouble, I will sell you all... well, except Sister Yege, all of you will be sold to the Savage Heights!!"

"Yes……"

……

A moment later
Chris, who had just put his legs on the table, snorted, and suddenly splashed the coffee in his hand towards the corner: "I knew you were here!"

slap~
The black liquid, which became hot at some point, quickly gathered into a ball with a snap of fingers, floating quietly in mid-air.

Seven or eight sugar cubes flew silently from in front of Chris and merged into the slowly rotating sphere.

"I'm never used to the bitter taste."

The figure of Martin Sloan slowly emerged from the air, took a bite of the 'coffee ball' in front of him, shook his head with a bitter face, and said, "Sure enough, no matter how much sugar you add, you won't be used to it."

"You are really accurate..."

Chris narrowed his phoenix eyes, and said softly: "But how did they know?"

Martin smiled: "Beyond your 'test' scope?"

"Don't say whether there is a test or not, I'm just idle and having some fun..."

"Well, then I wish you a good time~"

"Hey!"
